Auto-hide Bookmarks, Navigation, and tabs bar

As little screen space as chrome's bookmark bar, navigation bar, and tab bar take up, I would love for someone to make an extension to auto-hide these, and pop-up on mouse-over. Actually, if someone can make an extension to autohide even one of these, I would be thrilled.

You can do this on firefox, and I am extremely close to switching back. Please do not let me do this!

I don't know if such can be made but you can always hide the bookmark bar using Ctrl + B and will be only shown in the new tab page. In addition you can use the bookmarks button by adding --bookmark-menu to your shortcut instead of the bar.

@dberm22; Hit F11 and it all turns into blue sky... And damned fast, too! (I quite like the little black panel which discreetly tells you that hitting F11 again will reverse the process - not that it's really needed though).

Unfortunately chrome doesnt supply anything to extensions to make it go fullscreen and javascript cant send key strokes as that would be a big security risk.
So your going to have to use another app to get it done.

I liked the idea of mg2's double click middle button for F11 and tried it...DblMiddleClickF11.zip
.....quite liked it

If your into mouse gestures (Im not, but its what works for you) then I think you might like this app......http://www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/
...Allows you to have mouse gestures system wide on windows, even set up specific gestures for specific apps. Never tried it (like i said, not into gestures) but it certainly sounded/looked good.

I am trying to write a script that with autohotkey that within chrome will check is Ctrl - L has been hit (To jump to address bar), it will then exit fullscreen and the wait until Enter is hit (implying that the new address has been entered), at which point it will resume fullscreen.
